Locomotives H0e/009 Roco de Pirlouit.

[Pirlouit]

Hello everyone.
Here are now two small steam locomotives from Roco.

The first comes from a small box set that Roco released at the end of 2016.

The second is the 060 Nicki et Franck S.








Just like the Liliput handcar, I installed a decoder.

Good day.

The floppy couplings are a total pain on these locos if you intend to do any shuntting and/or running round the trains on your layout. However, there is a fix for this as it is posiable to place a short section of elastic band in the pocket behind the coupling.  The down side is that you have to take the baseplate off to fit it and with the rear coupling on the yank loco you need to cut back the 'ears' on the coupling clip slightly. (Not too much as it will not clip into place.) The rear tender coupling can just be fixed in position as it has a short overhang.
It should also be noted that the axle slots in the chassis block do tend to ware out if you use them a lot. The first signs are a ticking noise when the loco is running.
